QuoteMELON: Q. Is there a particularly memorable behind-the-scenes story while working on the 'ETA' music video?
Shin Wooseok: While writing the 'ETA' music video scenario, it was necessary to name the characters that appear. The name of the male lead in 'Cool With You', who finished the screenplay first, was Arsene. It was named after the legendary Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger. So, the name of the male lead in 'ETA' was taken from Mikel Arteta, the current director. However, after the teaser for 'ETA' came out, things started to turn strangely. There is a Basque separatist armed group called ETA in Spain, and its leader is named Mikel. I didn't even know such a group existed, but there were all sorts of speculations about the content of the music video among overseas fans, and because of this, I unintentionally caused a nuisance. Arsenal doesn't help me in my life. (*He...is a longtime Arsenal fan)
